Mavic Ksyrium SLR WTS 2014

Wheel upgrades to a road bike can be the most
significant, weight reducing, face lifting, and expensive upgrades you
can make.
Finding the right wheelset for your riding style, weight, intentions,
bike
coloration, budget and so on, can and should be research intensive.
With taking
so many things into consideration as you seek the perfect wheelset, it
can be a
frustrating and time consuming experience that may even cause insomnia.
If you are
reading this, you are most likely in such a crisis. Take a look at the
Mavic
Ksyrium SLR, it just might be the answer.

The Mavic Ksyrium SLR is a do-it-all
wheel-tire system that can perform on multiple stages, whether you’re a
climber,
criterium expert, or pride yourself on distance and endurance. These
include
everything you want and expect in a pro level race wheel;
responsiveness, reduced
weight, and durable construction. It starts with Mavic’s Maxtal
aluminum rims that
are combined with an SUP arc weld on the seam, providing unconventional
strength to weight ratio and non-existent brake chatter. To up the
stiffness of
the rim, Fore technology is used in place of drilling. The lower rim
bridge is
pushed on the inside, then threaded to enable the spoke nipples to be
directly
screwed in it, leaving the upper rim bridge intact. This makes the rim
four
times more resistant to fatigue stress and increases rim rigidity to
maximize
power transfer by 20%. This is like steroids for rims (in terms of
strength)!

Supporting these sturdy rims are the
incredibly light Tracomp carbon fiber spokes that work in traction and
compression to provide maximum stiffness. The high traction resistance
of
carbon fiber spokes greatly minimizes wheel deflection under normal
loads. Under heavier loads these spokes enter into compression mode in
order to keep optimum
rim support, preventing any further wheel deflection. The Zicral
aluminum alloy
nipples provide spokes with higher stiffness to weight ratio while
being
sturdier. The low inertia inter spoke (ISM) milling is like letting the
mountain goat out of its cage, as it is lightweight which sensibly
makes
climbing easier and faster, and less inertia makes acceleration instant
and
effortless. The spoke arrangement on the Ksyrium SLR IS as smart as
your phone!

At the heart of the wheels are the Mavic
alloy hubs, which are lightweight and come with double sealed,
micro-adjustable, C3 cartridge bearings. Stability is increased in the
rear hub
by placing the FTS-L reinforcement between the pawl and hub body. Two
stainless
steel inserts add rigidness to the full aluminum hub body, providing
durability
and strength.

What would a set of high caliber wheels be
without high braking performance? Optimum stopping power can be a
race-saver
just as much as the rolling speed of a
wheel itself. The Mavic exclusive Exalith
2 technology for aluminum rims has be
refined to provide a very high level of durability and braking
performance in
all weather conditions. Braking distance has been shortened by 18% in
wet
conditions while keeping pad-wear to a minimum. The Exalith treatment
increases rim
life and maintains original rim coloration. Wheelset comes with Mavic
Exalith 2 brake
pads to ensure quiet and high braking performance and duration.

The Ksyrium SLR’s are so intently designed
and uniquely detailed that Mavic has included its Griplink front
clincher tire
and its Powerlink rear clincher tire to compliment and maximize the
performance
of the Ksyrium SLR’s. These provided tires are lightweight and puncture
resistant that feature a compound with low rolling resistance and safe
grip for
confident cornering and steering control.

The Mavic Ksyrium is a rare breed of a
wheelset
that has the ability to do-it-all and do it well. They have everything
you seek
in all-around wheels, responsiveness, minimal weight, and durability.
Finely
crafted and detailed with their black on black coloration can turn any
ogre of a bike
into a smart, handsome French stallion!
